In a locality in Liguria there took place a few weeks youth: organization. On this occasion an officer of the militia rebuked a young fascist becau-e he frequently disobeyed the mobilization . orders. ‘The young fascist replied to this re- buke in a loud voice: “What have you done for me, who am unem~- ployed?” In reply the officer ordered him to be arrested, but from the ranks of the young fascists there arose the unanimous reply: “He is quite right, bravo!” The young fas- cists broke their ranks and prevented the arrest of the young worker who had demonstrated against the fas- cist hunger-regime. From all these incidents there is an important lesson to be drawn; we must work among the masses of youth who are misled by the fascists, increase their fighting spirit, and wrest them from the class enemy, The Italian voung workers ‘will at- tend the Snti-Fascist Congress in Copenhagen and there submit their ' ten years’ experience in the fight ageinst fasciem ago a mobilization day of the faccist| nomic situation, has great possibilities for expansion, Why, in the face of conditions par- ticularly favorable t@ us, have we not. succeeded in recordi#z a much larger | growth? | It is not possib'e here to analyze fully the shortcom ings of our organi- zation. We will merely touch on a few of the major points. 1. Sectarianism. Our convention will have to adopt measures and the in- coming National Executive Commit- tee will have to conduct a sharp struggle against sectarianism, This sectarianism expresses itself in aloof- ness towards other elements regarded as inferior and not to be drawn into our organization. It expresses itself in the isolated existence of our branches, It again expresses itself in the lack of confidence in our own forces, and, on the cther hand, in the tendency to imitate and even appro- priate tHe functions of the Commu- nist Party. 2.

Tt is therefore, as already stated, unnecessary and impossible to build a sanatorium-pre~« ventorium for this proportionate mi<« nority. In order to help those of our members afflicted with the “prole~ tarian sickness we made corttact tions suggested by their various branches. In the light of our accom- plishments of the last two years, as well as our shortcomings, which the convention will have to point out in the line of serious self-criticism, we hope to be able to solve our problema Eerie ers ppomipeee se ed 2 ional Workers’ Order may marek og % I
